Coaching

Coaching is the process of ongoing board training and development. The purpose of coaching is to assist the board with implementing change. Boards who desire a governance approach to board leadership can use coaching for the development of board roles and responsibilities. Through coaching, boards systematically identify board issues, strategically plan for desired change, and work toward the achievement of their stated vision.

Typically, board members, if they receive any training at all, participate in short term, one-day workshops. This information is valuable, often inspirational. Participants are encouraged to commit to making changes that will positively affect their board operations.

Regrettably, although they leave with valuable ideas and a desire for change, much of their enthusiasm dwindles soon after the workshop. Successfully implementing change requires careful preparation, planning, supervision and assessment. If the needed change is substantive, the board must learn to think and develop in new and different ways. The Board Coach leads board members through this process of transformation, and guides the board on its journey.

Have Dr. Thomas assess your board’s situation and challenge the board toward higher levels of peak performance.
